“Spoons” is about Charli losing her lover to another girl. Charli has no control over this heartbreak’s repercussions in her head and continues to fall deeper.
The song appeared on her Heartbreaks and Earthquakes mixtape and it samples Rudimental’s “Spoons.”
Slippin' through tunnels in the sand
I hold your heartbeat in my hand
You are getting away
Again, again, again, again, again
I lose my grip and start to drown
Still see your feet from underground
You are getting away
Again, again, again, again, again
It feels like I'm in a glass box
Invisible cape is on top
Keep on confessing your love for
Some other girl you would rather
I feel like a ghost in a white room
Your eyes keep starin' at me straight through
Only not to be two hearts goin' blind
One, two, three, so I kissed goodbye and left the room
Don't break my heart
This is when I lose my balance
This is when I lose all control
This is when I find the challenge
The challenge I can call my own
It's hard to fight a battle
When all my weapons are so far
Out of reach and balance
And I forget who you are
I think I'm about to fall
I think I'm about to fall
I think I'm about to fall
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Go fuck yourself!
